Join us for IEV's annual Fun Race. This year, the theme is Día de Los Muertos and remembering our loved ones. It is scheduled for Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Michigan State University Hubbard/Akers Courtyard.
This friendly fun run/walk is a collaboration between the International Engagement Volunteers (IEV) and the International Engagement in Mexico (IEM) education abroad program. Proceeds from the race will support service-learning projects carried out by Michigan State University students through IEV. Register by October 16, 2026, to guarantee a T-shirt on race day. The first 100 finishers will receive a race medal.
If you can't attend in person, you can still participate in our virtual race. We'll mail you the T-shirt and medal—just let us know in the notes!
